Favourite Things


My three favourite things at the moment are pan pastels, the new summer set of distress inks and Stampotique stamps.  So I made a couple of tags.  

The circles were stamped in perfect medium and swooshed over with Phthalo Blue (560.5) pan pastel.  The background was created by applying inks to a craft mat and spritzing with water.  They lost their vividness with this method!!!


Inks were applied directly to the tag, the faded rays stamped in perfect medium and swooshed over with black (800.5) pan pastel, images stamped in black stazon.

Hi I'm Sam, 42, birthday in October - Any piece of art gratefully rec'd - Thanks. OH, Martin, been together 23 years and still no plans to get married!!! We love spending time with our pupster, especially when the weather is dry and we get to take him to the woods. I love any sort of crafting and would say that I am adventurous with new materials. We love going skiing in any winter resort, but mainly the States or Canada, they have better snow!! We lost our first beardie, Max, August 2006 at a ripe old age of 14 and 1/4. Since then Frazzie has come along, he is now 5 years and 10 months old and is still a little Bugger, Bugger!!! Unfortunately in December 2008 we lost Alfie at 14 months old after only having a short time of 7 weeks loving and caring for him. He found a good buddie in Fraz and loved him to bits.
